Inspired by the analysis of variance (ANOVA) decomposition of functions we propose a Gaussian-Uniform mixture model on the high-dimensional torus which relies on the assumption that the function we wish to approximate can be well explained…

Expanding a lower-dimensional problem to a higher-dimensional space and then projecting back is often beneficial. This article rigorously investigates this perspective in the context of finite mixture models, namely how to improve inference…

We improve the result of our previous paper on translation invariant quadratic forms in two special cases. We reduce the density bound $|\mathcal{A}|/N = O((\log\log N)^{-c})$ to $|\mathcal{A}|/N = O((\log N)^{-c})$ for most quadratic forms…

Various mixing properties of $\beta$-, $\beta'$- and Gaussian Delaunay tessellations in $\mathbb{R}^{d-1}$ are studied. It is shown that these tessellation models are absolutely regular, or $\beta$-mixing. In the $\beta$- and the Gaussian…

Let $(X\_1,\ldots,X\_n)$ be a $d$-dimensional i.i.d sample from a distribution with density $f$. The problem of detection of a two-component mixture is considered. Our aim is to decide whether $f$ is the density of a standard Gaussian…
